Changing the IP of and DHCP server on win2000

I have a server running win2000 with DHCP server installed , the currebt IP of the server is 192.168.0.2 , i have tryed to change it to 192.168.1.2 in the Network settings , then when i go to the DHCP Administration i cant find the right properties to change the ip there , and i get an error DHCP server not found

you are changing it to another subnet... I am assuming the mask is 255.255.255.0
your clients will be looking for it on the 0.0 subnet.
The dhcp address itself does not need to be in the DHCP admin section. The clients access the DHCP server via broadcast messages

"DHCP server not found" try browsing for the server (right click 'dhcp' and enter ip) before you change the ip. If you can't find it make sure the service is running in control panel. To change the range, look for the address pool in the scope, then modify the scope options like DNS and router if required.

x.x.x.0 means you can browse anything within the last octect. You could temporarily change the mask to 255.255.0.0 if you want to change the IP then dhcp (server is failing to browse itself after change). If your entire domain is changing over, you won't need a different subnet. Once you modify the scope, restart dhcp. Then use ipconfig /release & /renew from the command line at a client afterwards to get the new range.

Um... DHCP is all done via broadcast announcements.....I dont see myself even how it would matter if the DHCP server was switched to a different IP subnet not a different broadcast subnet (unless of course after the clients changed also he had other static IP devices like routers and servers that needed changing).
